Would you like to know more about how you can interact with our network as an innovator or investor, or do you have any other questions? Get in touch with us.
To get your funding needs displayed on the Investment Hub so that investors can get access to it, you need to have at least one featured/labeled solution by the Solar Impulse Foundation. Moreover, you need to submit a Financial Information Form and have it validated by our Investor Relations Team. Once these two criteria are met, your opportunity will be visible on the Investment Hub only if you confirm that you wish to share it with our investor community.
Our support is entirely free of charge. If an introduction to an investor through our platform eventually leads to an investment, we would of course be grateful for a voluntary donation. Such contributions help sustain our activities as a Foundation and enable us to continue offering these services free of charge to all innovators. That said, there is absolutely no obligation: your fundraising journey on Investment Hub remains completely free.
We take data confidentiality very seriously. On the Investment Hub, only limited information is displayed: the fact that your company is currently fundraising, the sector you are active in, and a short description of your innovation or business. Importantly, no details about the size or terms of your fundraising round are shared at this stage.
The entire Investment Hub section, where fundraising opportunities are listed, is accessible exclusively to investors who are members of our ecosystem. If an investor is interested in your opportunity, they must submit a request to access more details such as your fundraising deck, the amount sought, or the type of round. This way, you remain in full control over what is shared and with whom. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
Yes, you can update or edit the information about your funding needs after it has been submitted. Simply log in to your account on our platform, and navigate to the "My Financial Information Form" section, you will then resubmit your Form and go through a review process from our Investor Relations Team again.
First, you need a featured or a labeled solution to submit a Financial Information Form and be validated on the Investment Hub. More information on the Efficient Solution Label can be found here.
When your company has a featured or a labeled solution (or multiple), it becomes eligible for an internal review of your funding needs through the completion and submission of the Financial Information Form. If the latter meets our quality standards, it will be shared on Investment Hub.
Importantly, your funding needs will only be shared on the Investment Hub if you have explicitly indicated in the form that you wish to appear.
